for anyone nearby Georgetown, SC today, they are having the annual wooden boat show. I may ride up later today. I've got three friends that have their boats up there for the weekend. Weather looks a little iffy, but I still think I will go

Spare, I found this
"Views from the 24th Annual Georgetown Wooden Boat Show (Georgetown, SC)"
on a recently discovered website called US 17 Coastal Highway. Pretty cool (the photos from the show and the site itself).

I'm definitely going to put that boat show on my list.

That's a cool site about Hwy 17 Pipe! I spent an hour plus scanning through it and saw a few places I recognized. Whenever I travel I prefer to take the backroads, never know what you're gonna find. Added it to my favorites list. Thanks!

in that first picture, the big boat with the twin stacks is the Osprey http://ospreyboatcharters.com/ its owned by a good friend of mine, the web site hasn't been updated and it still list the late Lucas Smith as Captain. teh boat sitting in front of it is the Peaquad II, its owned by another friend of mine that lives near Long Beach, NC

Same here about taking backroads. We've done Hwy 17 south from here down to Jekyll Island and of course north up to Charleston and Mount Pleasant. Both directions are great trips. They recently finished improvements on the way to Charleston, making the always scenic trip much safer. I've been wanting to take it up through Georgetown and Myrtle Beach for a long time, and this website has made me want to do it soon!

Nice. I enjoyed reading about the boat's history and the "Flight of the Osprey." Very sad about her young Captain.

It sounds to me like this boat show could be a future meet up for V-20-ers.
